Tips for buying Ultracentrifuge

Before purchasing an
ultracentrifuge, facilities need to carefully examine their current and
future laboratory needs to avoid purchasing an expensive high speed
centrifuge unit with unnecessary capabilities or a cheaper one that cannot
handle the laboratory workload.

Larger facilities with many
samples daily centrifuged may need programmable functions, while smaller
laboratories with a low or moderate number of samples may not need a
programmable unit.

When purchasing a high speed centrifuge,
safety features should be a prime factor. Each ultracentrifuge should have
a securely interlocking lid that shuts off the unit's motor when the lid
is opened or keeps the lid latched until the rotor has stopped.

An inner protective cover
over the rotor assembly is an additional safety feature, as well as a
clear display warning not to open the ultracentrifuge while the rotor is
spinning.

The visual indicators and
displays on the high speed centrifuge should be clear and easily read. It
is recommended to have audible alarms in case of device malfunction, rotor
imbalance, or open lid.

Alert indicators and safety
features help protect ultracentrifuge components and rotor contents from
breakage, and also protect operators from flying debris. Buying
ultracentrifuges with such features is recommended.
